Parametric quality assessment of synthesized textures

چکیده
In this paper, we present the results of a study designed to investigate the visual factors which contribute to the perceived quality of synthesized textures. A psychophysical experiment was performed in which subjects rated the quality of textures synthesized from a variety of modern texture-synthesis algorithms. The ratings were given in terms of how well each synthesized texture represented a sample from the same material from which the original texture was obtained. The results revealed that the most detrimental artifact was lack of structural details. Other pronounced artifacts included: (1) misalignment of the texture patterns; (2) blurring introduced in the texture patterns; and (3) repeating the same patch again and again (tiling). Based on these results, we present an analysis of the efficacy of various measureable parameters at predicting the ratings. We show how a linear combination of the parameters from a parametric texture-synthesis algorithm demonstrates better performance at predicting the ratings compared to traditional quality-assessment algorithms.

Non-parametric synthesis of laminar volumetric textures from a 2D sample
The goal of this paper is to evaluate non-parametric algorithms that achieve 3D texture synthesis from a single 2D sample. The algorithms under study are variants of the algorithm proposed by Wei and Levoy [1]. Several authors have proposed different algorithms that intend to better reproduce, in the output texture, the diversity learned in the input sample. Hence, we turn our attention to the ...

متن کاملAnisotropic 3D texture synthesis with application to volume rendering
We present a novel approach to improving volume rendering by using synthesized textures in combination with a custom transfer function. First, we use existing knowledge to synthesize anisotropic solid textures to fit our volumetric data. As input to the synthesis method, we acquire high quality images using a 12.1 megapixel camera. Next, we extend the volume rendering pipeline by creating a tra...
